OK, today the markets started off positive, traded choppy, then just fell. Here are the closing numbers for today:
| 9,447.11 | -508.39 | (-5.11%) | |
| 1,754.88 | -108.08 | (-5.80%) | |
| 996.23 | -60.66 | (-5.74% |
The S&P fell below the 1,000 mark and shattered the psychological floor. I really thought we would have a bounce like the last time the indexes fell from the bailout not passing the first time. So what does this mean? I think the rumors for another rate cut are probably true and will happen by the end of the week. We are already at a low 2% and doubt this will have any positive long term effect. The high gas and food prices are a result of the last 7 rate cuts from 5.5% down to 2%.
I don’t think governement should continue to muck up the economy by making these poor decisions. Bush, Bernanke, and Paulson were all in denial about the recession and slow down just a year ago, and now they are throwing everything at the wall hoping something will stick. I can’t believe these 3 stooges are in charge of the most important economies in the world!
